Key: Step 147. Chironomini 44

147a. Comb of segment VIII on the end of an elongate ventral cuticular mound which exceeds appreciably the apico-lateral corner of the segment (100g.jpg; 100h.jpg). (This mound is demarcated anteriorly in the flattened exuvial mount by a series of curved creases.)

Step 148. Chironomini 45 Baeotendipes

147b. Comb of segment VIII usually an elongate thorn, or a few thorns, inserted directly on the postero-lateral edge of the segment; if set on the end of an apico-lateral extension of the segment, the ventral mound is not developed and the anterior creases are absent.
